PCH Project Environmental Documentation Proposal 4 uul:u.oiyiI CI Iv CIuptC IL/. ol.umjuuo-VzY t% --iJr O-00//u0 Relevant Experience Overview Dates: 2019-2022 Dudek prepared the EIR for the Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan. The Project would allow for the redevelopment of the existing surface parking lots and a portion of the Fairfield Inn and Suites Hotel property through the adoption of a Specific Plan. The Specific Plan would create five new land use districts that would allow for up to 263 new housing units, 11,252 gross square feet of new commercial/retail uses, new parking garages, as well as the continued use and operation of the existing Fairfield Inn and Suites Hotel and Aloft Hotel uses. The proposed Project is composed of three development areas: (1) Pacific Coast Commons - South (PCC-South), (2) Pacific Coast Commons - Fairfield Parking (PCC-Fairfield Parking), and (3) Pacific Coast Commons - North (PCC- North). Through the implementation of the Specific Plan, these two hotels would be brought into full conformity with the land use designation and zoning for the Project site. The majority of the key staff identified in Figure 1 were involved in the preparation of the EIR for the Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan and will bring efficiencies and expertise to the proposed Specific Plan Amendment. Dates: 2023-Present Dudek is currently preparing a Subsequent EIR for the Mesa Verde Specific Plan Area 2 Amendment No. 2 in the City of Calimesa. The Project proposes an amendment to the 2017 Specific Plan and would allow for development of various land uses, including approximately 250,000 square feet of mixed -use and commercial uses, up to 3,650 residential units, over 4,000,000 square feet of business park, 2 elementary school sites, open space and public/private parks, utility infrastructure, and roadways on the currently undeveloped 1,463.1 acre Project site. Off -site utility improvements and roadway/circulation improvements are required, including improvements to the Interstate 10 interchange at Sandalwood Drive. Dates: 2022-2023 Dudek prepared an Addendum to the Housing Element Update PEIR for the Gateway Planning Area on behalf of the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning. The Addendum analyzed potential environmental impacts associated with the Gateway Planning Area Rezoning Program, which included upzoning certain parcels to accommodate more housing options, rezoning certain parcels to ensure consistency across the General Plan Land Use Map and the Zoning Code, and an Alternate Parcel Component, which allowed for flexibility in the rezoning program for the County Department of Regional Planning and for the Gateway community. 703 N.

The EIR provides the County with the opportunity to consider broad policy alternatives and program -wide mitigation measures and to comprehensively address potential environmental impacts. Dates: 2021- 2022 Dudek prepared an EIR for the Alexan Mixed -Use Project, which includes the demolition of some of the existing structures on the project site, including a two-story office building, two one-story commercial buildings, and surface parking, to develop a new residential tower. The project would construct a seven -story multifamily residential building containing 319 dwelling units adjacent to an on -site eight -story office tower, including amenity uses, exterior pedestrian/paseo improvements, and subterranean parking. The project required evaluation of historic resources for on -site buildings to be demolished. Dates: 2017- 2021 Dudek prepared an EIR for a new 67,513-square-foot wellness center that would provide medical -related research and development uses and clinical/medical office space in the City of Santa Monica's Healthcare Mixed Use District. The project involves demolition of several structures and surface parking to accommodate the new three-story wellness center with five -level subterranean parking garage. The project includes the beneficial reuse of the designated GKGM Building, which is a historic resource in the City of Santa Monica's Historic Resources Inventory. A full -service restaurant located within the GKGM Building would remain as -is, and the remaining space within the GKGM Building would be adaptively reused for research and development use as a part of the wellness center.

Dates: 2022 - 2023 Dudek prepared an EIR for The Derby Mixed -Use Project, which is a 6-story mixed -use development involving the demolition of two restaurant buildings and associated surface parking and the construction of approximately 15,000 square feet of restaurant/cafe space, 205 market -rate dwelling units, and nine affordable dwelling units, totaling 214 for -rent dwelling units. Although no historical resources were identified within the project site, the existing The Derby restaurant, which is proposed for demolition, is recognized as a valued community institution. The project would rebuild The Derby as the flagship commercial component of a new mixed -use building. Discretionary permits required include a General Plan amendment, a zone change, a lot -line adjustment, a minor - use permit (for valet parking and outdoor dining), and site plan and design review. CEQA Approach Dudek understands that implementation of the 703 North PCH Project (Project or modified Project), which would expand the boundaries of the Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan (PCCSP) to include AIN 4139-018-001 and would increase the development build -out of the PCCSP, which would require numerous entitlements that are subject to CEQA.' The Specific Plan would be modified to include the proposed Project, which would include demolition of an existing building (assumed to be vacant) and surface parking to allow for construction of a seven - story building that would accommodate 13,754 square feet of retail, 50 residential apartment units; and three levels of parking garage. Property would be dedicated to the City for roadway/sidewalk right-of-way expansion. The recently -approved PCCSP included eight parcels that total 6.23 net acres of land adjacent to Pacific Coast Highway. It is understood that the original PCCSP project components would not change and that the addition of the 703 N PCH project is the only addition to the modified Project. Due to the expansion of the boundaries of the PCCSP and increased buildout of residential and commercial uses, the City is considering the use of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR (SEIR), per CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 or 15163, or an Addendum per Section 15164. As a summary, if an EIR from an earlier project cannot be used, a subsequent EIR can be prepared, or if only minor additions or changes to the previous EIR are needed, a supplemental EIR could be prepared. An Addendum may be prepared if some changes or additions are necessary, but preparation of a Subsequent EIR is not necessary. The decision to prepare either a SEIR or an Addendum, would be determined in close consultation with the City, after preparation of the Initial Study (see Task 2). Dudek will prepare an Initial Study to consider whether the Project may cause new or more substantial significant effects that were not examined in the PCCSP EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2020050508, adopted in April 2022). If a SEIR is required, it is Dudek's objective to "focus out" as many topics through the Initial Study as appropriate to focus the SEIR on topics that have new potentially significant environmental impacts. Assuming the availability of complete technical studies, this scope of work anticipates the following topics could be focused out through the Initial Study: agriculture and forestry resources; biological resources; geology and soils; hazards and hazardous materials; hydrology and water quality; mineral resources; and wildfire. For those topics carried forward into the SEIR, within each topical chapter, the Draft SEIR would assess the impacts of the modified Project in comparison to the existing conditions, and determine whether the originally approved EIR retains adequate informational value on the assessment of environmental impacts, or whether the proposed Project would result in new or substantially different significant environmental impacts such that previously proposed mitigation measures would be eliminated or revised, or whether new mitigation measures are required. If the results of the technical studies and the Initial Study indicate that an Addendum is the appropriate, in coordination with the City, Dudek will prepare the Addendum in conformance with the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. This proposal includes tasks that will allow for preparation of either an SEIR or an Addendum. Dudek will provide efficiencies for this environmental evaluation given that Dudek prepared the PCCSP EIR and can seamlessly review, evaluate, and incorporate our previous analyses and modeling to determine potential impacts associated with the modified Project, which will save the City time and money. 1 Entitlements include a General Plan Amendment; Specific Plan Amendment; Zone Change, Zone Text Amendment; Site Plan Review; Dedication Waiver; Development Agreement; Affordable Housing Agreement; and environmental review pursuantto CEQA. 703 N. PCH Project Environmental Documentation Proposal 7 Scope of Work If it determined that an SEIR is appropriate, Tasks 1 through 6 would be required, with consideration of Optional Tasks 7.1 and/or 7.2.

Sultw-,,�l 11 2 A'h, (IJ,jafiut:y, II in)e sgy, aund GIG Anay^aes Dudek will prepare technical analyses assessing the air quality, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and energy impacts of the Specific Plan Amendment utilizing the significance thresholds in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD's) CEQA Guidelines, and City guidance, as available and applicable. The CEQA document would update previous air quality, GHG emissions, and energy analyses contained in the previous PCCSP EIR sections. For the air quality, GHG emissions, and energy analyses, Dudek will 1) summarize the previous CEQA documentation analysis and significance conclusions by threshold, 2) model the modified Project using the current version of California Emissions Estimation Model (CalEEMod), 3) identify mitigation measures required through previous CEQA analysis that are applicable to the Project, and 4) include a concluding statement comparing the modified Project's CEQA significance determination to the previous CEQA analysis for the approved Project. Dudek will also update the environmental and regulatory setting, as applicable, that reflects current conditions for air quality, GHG emissions, and energy. Air Quality. Dudek will prepare an assessment of the air quality impacts of the proposed Project utilizing the significance thresholds in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) emissions -based thresholds, and the City's guidance, as applicable. After reviewing all available Project materials, Dudek will prepare a request for any outstanding data needed (as part of Task 1) to conduct the analysis. If precise information on a particular factor is not available from the City staff or its representatives, Dudek will make every effort to quantify these items using the best available information for comparable data sources. Local and regional climate, meteorology, and topography as they affect the accumulation or dispersal of air pollutants will be presented in the air quality assessment. Current air quality conditions and recent trends in the South Coast Air Basin, where the modified Project is located, will be described on the basis of California Air Resources Board (CARB) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency annual air quality monitoring data summaries. Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies responsible for air quality management will be identified, and applicable federal, state, and local air quality policies, regulations, and standards will be summarized, including a discussion of the SCAQMD 2022 Air Quality Management Plan. Dudek will estimate emissions associated with construction of the modified Project using the CaIEEMod. The analysis of short-term construction emissions will be based on scheduling information (e.g., overall construction duration, phasing and phase timing) and probable construction activities (e.g., construction equipment type and quantity, workers, and haul trucks) developed by the City and/or standardized approaches. Dudek will then evaluate the significance of the emissions based on the SCAQMD significance criteria. 703 N. PCH Project Environmental Documentation Proposal 18 L/ul:u, liyil GIIvuiuptC IL/. OI.iU/1JUV0-L/.`7l l.i-YJf O-DfJ/4-V ULLL/li5l�/ /JO Dudek will assess the modified Project's potential to cause or contribute to exceedances of ambient air quality standards at sensitive receptors near the Project activities using the SCAQMD localized significance thresholds. For projects with a total site area of 5 acres or less, the assessment may use a simple "lookup table" approach provided by SCAQMD. For budgetary purposes, it is assumed that the maximum daily area of disturbance will not exceed 5 acres; therefore, the localized significance threshold assessment will use the lookup table approach provided by SCAQMD and the construction emission estimates from CalEEMod. If a dispersion model LST analysis is required, Dudek can provide that effort under a separate scope and budget. Dudek understands that the modified Project site is close to other sensitive receptors (residences); thus, a construction health risk assessment is proposed to evaluate the impact of construction toxic air contaminants TACs, specifically diesel particulate matter (DPM), on sensitive receptors (detailed below). CalEEMod will also be used to estimate modified Project -generated operational criteria air pollutant emissions associated with mobile, energy, and area sources. Dudek will estimate mobile source emissions using the trip generation rates and additional necessary trip characteristics provided in the Applicant's traffic report prepared for the Project. Energy and area source emissions (e.g., natural gas combustion and consumer products) will be estimated using the default values in CalEEMod for the proposed land uses. Dudek will qualitatively evaluate whether traffic associated with the modified Project could lead to potential exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial localized concentrations of air pollutant emissions, specifically carbon monoxide "hot spots." For budgetary purposes, it is assumed that the study intersections would not exceed the applied screening criteria, and a quantitative carbon monoxide hotspots analysis would not be required. Additional Appendix G thresholds will also be evaluated, including the potential for the Project to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, to result in other emissions such as odors, or to impede attainment of the 2022 SCAQMD air quality management plan. The CEQA document analysis will be prepared consistent with the SCAQMD guidance and thresholds. Details of the analysis (e.g., daily criteria air pollutant emission calculations) will be included in an appendix to the CEQA document. Construction Health Risk Assessment, Dudek will evaluate the potential for the Project to expose sensitive receptors to TACs during construction, where the primary TAC of concern would be DPM from heavy-duty trucks and any onsite off -road equipment. The dispersion of DPM and associated health risk impacts on sensitive receptors will be determined using the American Meteorological Society/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD), California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Hot Spots Analysis and Reporting Program Version 2 (HARP2), local meteorological data obtained from SCAQMD, and the estimated annual average DPM emissions. The maximum cancer risks at the appropriate receptors (e.g., proximate residential receptors) will be estimated. The assessment will also include the estimated chronic (long-term) hazard indices due to non -cancer health effects associated with DPM. If the health impacts exceed the thresholds of significance, we will suggest appropriate mitigation measures to reduce the health impacts. A summary of the methodology and results would be provided in the air quality assessment and detailed results will be provided in an appendix to the CEQA document. Energy. Dudek will prepare an energy assessment for the modified Project per Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The analysis will briefly summarize electricity, natural gas, and petroleum energy sources and the relevant regulatory framework. Based on Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, the impact analysis will assess if the Project would (1) result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during Project construction or operation, and (2) conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. The Project will be assessed regarding construction and 703 N.

Project electricity (kilowatt-hours) and natural gas (British thermal units) usage will be estimated based on Project specifics and CaIEEMod default values, as appropriate, when Project specifics are not available. Petroleum consumption will be estimated using CalEEMod and based on the same equipment and vehicle assumptions assumed in the air quality and GHG emissions analysis. Project elements that would reduce the proposed Project's energy demand during construction and operations will be identified in the analysis and quantified as available. Dudek assumes that the City staff or its representatives will provide a list of the Project's energy conservation measures prior to initiating air quality and GHG emissions modeling, as the energy analysis will be prepared consistent with the emissions modeling assumptions. Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The GHG emissions assessment will include a setting and background discussion consisting of a summary of the greenhouse effect and global climate change, potential changes to the global climate system and to California, and emission inventories at the national, state, and local levels. It will also include a summary of the key federal, state, and local regulatory actions and programs to reduce GHG emissions. Dudek will estimate the GHG emissions associated with construction of the modified Project using CalEEMod based on the same construction scenario utilized in the air quality analysis. Project -generated operational GHG emissions that will be estimated include those associated with mobile sources, natural gas usage, electrical generation, water supply, wastewater, and solid waste disposal. The emissions estimates will be based on information provided by the City staff or CaIEEMod default values. The impact analysis will reflect Appendix G of the state CEQA Guidelines; specifically, whether a Project would (a) generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment and (b) conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs. The SCAQMD GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Working Group has proposed options lead agencies can select from to screen thresholds of significance for GHG emissions in residential and commercial Projects; however, no thresholds have been formally adopted. Options SCAQMD evaluated include a bright -line threshold of 3,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year for all land use types. We will work with City staff to confirm application of the appropriate threshold for evaluating the Project's GHG emissions under CEQA. Details of the analysis (e.g., annual GHG emission calculations) will be included in an appendix to the CEQA document. The City worked with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments to prepare and adopt a Climate Action Plan (December 2017); however, the City's Climate Action Plan is not a qualified plan under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5 and cannot be tiered from under environmental review. As such, Dudek will discuss how the modified Project complies with the City's Climate Action Plan measures for reducing GHG emissions; state regulations (Assembly Bill [ABj 32, AB 1279); Pacific Coast Commons Specific Plan goals, objectives, and policies that help the City contribute to regional GHG reduction efforts; and applicable development standards that would increase energy efficiency, such as the California Building Code. Dudek will also provide a qualitative post-2020 analysis that will evaluate whether the Project -generated GHG emissions would impede the attainment of the 2030 and 2045 reduction goals identified in SB 32 and AB 1279, respectively. Because the City has not adopted a numeric post-2020 threshold or provided guidance for demonstrating that a project will not impede the implementation of state's post-2020 GHG reduction goals, a qualitative assessment is assumed to be sufficient.

The Project site would be located approximately 1,900 feet south of Interstate 105. Furthermore, based on the California Department of Transportation Traffic Census Program, the Pacific Coast Highway has a traffic volume of 55,000 annual average daily trips northbound and 63,000 annual average daily trips southbound. Therefore, a health risk assessment to evaluate the potential health risk of freeway DPM emissions on the Project is assumed to not be required and is not proposed. r No technical reports are provided under this Subtask.

Dudek will include noise/vibration-specific questions in the Data Needs Request (as part of Task 1.1) for identifying information needs that when received would facilitate predictive analyses and impact assessments associated with the Specific Plan Amendment. Dudek will conduct a field survey during daytime hours to measure pre -Project outdoor ambient sound pressure levels (SPL) at up to four (4) nearby off -site measurement locations. The collected SPL data should quantify and help characterize baseline acoustical conditions for the Project vicinity. While these short-term measurements will be performed by an attending Dudek investigator using a portable American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Type 1 or 2 sound level meter (SLM), and typically be no more than 15-20 minutes in duration each, at its discretion Dudek may deploy one or two unattended long-term (e.g., 24-hours in duration) SLM to help determine the representative outdoor sound environment for a typical diurnal cycle. At Dudek discretion and to the extent practical, one or more of these baseline sound level survey locations may replicate survey positions from the previous PCCSP EIR and thus evaluate potential changes to the existing outdoor ambient sound environment. Short -duration roadway segment traffic counts may also be collected based on field investigator observations. Using available Project information and City response to the data request of Subtask 1.1, Dudek will perform the following predictive analyses: • For each of several distinct onsite construction activity phases, construction noise exposure level at up to four (4) nearest or representative offsite noise -sensitive residential receptors using a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) emulator. If construction phasing creates newly occupied residences onsite within the Project boundary while subsequent construction remains, we will include assessment at up to four (4) additional onsite representative positions. • Dudek will estimate groundborne vibration exposure levels per Federal Transit Administration (FTA) or California Department of Transportation guidance -based methods.

Dudek will use relevant collected data from the outdoor ambient baseline SPL baseline survey to help validate the traffic noise predictions for the existing conditions scenario, which will then allow confident predictive modeling of future traffic noise. Aggregate sound emission from stationary Project on -site noise producers (such as operation of building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning [HVAC] systems) to existing offsite noise -sensitive receptors in the surrounding community. We will model up to four (4) scenarios of onsite noise emission, using Datakustik CadnaA or comparable Excel -based methods based on similar ISO 9613-2 algorithms and reference data, corresponding with potential or anticipated Project development progress and may also include estimating exposure levels to newly created onsite residential occupants. If predicted noise and vibration due to Project -attributed construction, effects on surface transportation, and stationary -sources operation are expected to exceed relevant standards and policies, we will recommend conceptual options for Project design features (i.e., noise barriers or partial enclosures) for consideration and incorporation into the final project design (or alternately, expressed as mitigation measures). The significance of noise impacts will be assessed based on the relevant City, state, and federal thresholds. We will also compare these findings with previous conclusions and proposed mitigation measures associated with the previous PPCSP EIR. If new or altered significant noise impacts are identified, mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less than significant level (where feasible) will be recommended. The regulatory background, ambient noise environment, methodology, results of the noise analysis, findings of potential effects and mitigation measures will be summarized in the noise section of the Project's CEQA document.

Refer to Optional Task 7.2 for assistance with AB 52. Fieldwork. Because the proposed Project site is fully developed providing no potential for ground surface visibility, Dudek assumes that a pedestrian survey for archaeological resources is not necessary. Therefore, this scope and the associated costs does not include fieldwork of any kind. Sould conditions change, Dudek will provide an augment to this scope of work and associated costs as appropriate. The built environment resources survey will be conducted by one (1) qualified architectural historian working no more than one (1) day to complete. The survey will entail taking detailed notes and photographs of the exterior of the building, including documentation of the overall existing conditions of the property, potential character - defining features, spatial relationships, landscaping design, and alterations. The survey will be restricted to the exterior of the building and grounds. Dudek assumes that the qualified staff person performing the survey will have access to the exterior of the property. Should any additional resources be identified as a result of the survey requiring recordation and evaluation, a budget augment may be required to address these resources. Record and (Evaluate Resources. According to Los Angeles County Assessor records and a cursory review of available historical information, properties within the modified Project include 703 North Pacific Coast Highway (AIN 4139-018-001), constructed in 1957. The one (1) property over 45 years in age will be recorded on State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 Forms (DPR forms), and will be evaluated in consideration of National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historical Resources, and local designation criteria and integrity requirements. As part of this task, Dudek will conduct building development research online or at the City of El Segundo to determine the nature and extent of alterations that have been made to the property over time and retrieve information on any previous owners/occupants. Dudek will also conduct archival research to develop the appropriate historic context for the property significance evaluation. This may include visiting local libraries or archives and contacting relevant historical societies and data repositories. Dudek assumes no more than one property is over 45 years in age and will require recordation and evaluation. Should additional built environment properties require recordation and evaluation as part of the project, Dudek will be pleased to provide an augment to this scope and cost for authorization.

This scope assumes the property at 703 North Pacific Coast Highway will be ineligible as a historical resource and an impacts analysis and the development of mitigation measures will not be required. Should the evaluation find the property eligible as a historical resource, a budget augment will be required to address impacts and mitigation. 0 Direct and indirect costs incurred to conduct the CHRIS records search at the SCCIC will not exceed $600 (this does not include labor). The records search will not identity archaeological resources that require additional research or fieldwork. Should resources be identified that require tasks not included in this scope, Dudek will provide an augment to this scope of work and associated costs as appropriate. ■ This scope of work does not include in -person or virtual appearances by Dudek cultural resources staff at City meetings or hearings. Should this service be desired, a budget augment will be necessary. All information related to archaeological resources will be provided directly into the CEQA document.

Task 2 Initial Study Dudek will prepare an Initial Study that will assess whether the modified Project meets the requirements set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 or 15163 related to preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR, respectively, or whether preparation of an Addendum is appropriate. The Initial Study will include checklist questions that would identify whether any of the circumstances in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are applicable for each individual environmental topic, as shown below. The Initial Study will focus on the addition of the modified Project area and intended land uses, and will consider whether the modified Project would cause significant effects that were not examined, or would require revisions that could be more substantial than were analyzed in the PCCSP EIR. Assumingthe preparation of an SEIR is appropriate, the Initial Study will be used to narrow the focus of the environmental issues addressed in the SEIR, as appropriate. It is anticipated that the following CEQA issue areas will be sufficiently analyzed in the Initial Study to allow their scoping out from further analysis in the SEIR: Agriculture and Forestry Resources; Biological Resources; Geology and Soils; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Mineral Resources; and Wildfire. This task assumes that the Applicant's Geotechnical Report, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, and Hydrology/Drainage/LID are available at the time of the preparation of the Initial Study and that they have been deemed adequate by the City's staff for use.

The Project description also includes a discussion of the intended uses of the SEIR and a list of permits and approvals required to implement the Project. Environmental Impact Analysis. Our approach to evaluating impacts related to the remaining topical chapters is summarized as follows. Aesthetics. The SEIR will evaluate visual changes and potential impacts to scenic vistas and the visual character in the Project vicinity that would occur as a result of the modified Project. To support this analysis, architectural drawings (provided by the architect) will be included in the SEIR section. It is assumed that the architect's visual renderings and concept aerial views will be adequate to visually depict the proposed Project and that no additional visual simulations are required. Dudek will incorporate the shade and shadow modeling results of the Dudek's analyses (Subtask 1.5) into the SEIR. The SEIR will determine whether new or more substantial impacts would occur with the modified Project and whether new/revised mitigation is required. Air Quality/Energy/Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Dudek will incorporate the analysis and findings of the Dudek's analyses (Subtask 1.2) into the SEIR. Details of the modeling will be included in an appendix to the SEIR. Cultural Resources. Dudek will incorporate the analysis and findings of the Dudek's analyses (Subtask 1.4) into the SEIR. The Built Environment Report and record search data will be included in an appendix to the SEIR. Land Use and Planning. The land use section of the SEIR will describe the consistency of the modified Project with the PCCSP goals and intents, and other adopted land use policies, including the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. It is assumed that the Specific Plan Amendment will provide an analysis of the modified Project's consistency with the City's General Plan for use in the Draft SEIR. The land use section will describe the compatibility and any potential conflicts between the modified Project with existing adjacent development. The SEIR will evaluate the extent to which development standards or proposed design standards would eliminate or minimize potential conflicts between the modified Project and adjacent uses. The SEIR will determine whether new or more substantial impacts would occur with the modified Project and whether new/revised mitigation is required. Noise. Dudek will incorporate the analysis and findings of the Dudek's Noise analysis (Subtask 1.3) into the SEIR. Details of the noise analysis will be included in an appendix to the SEIR. Population and Housing. Dudek will evaluate the anticipated increase the number of residents and employees at the modified Project site that could alter the population, employment, and housing characteristics for the area. The employment and housing characteristics of the City and region will be summarized and will be used to determine potential Project impacts. Applicable PCCSP policies regarding population, housing, and employment opportunities will also be described and analyzed. The SEIR will determine whether new or more substantial impacts would occur with the modified Project and whether new/revised mitigation is required. Public Services and Recreation. These sections will address potential impacts of the modified Project on police and fire department response capabilities and time resulting from increased density on the Project site. This analysis will provide a qualitative existing condition assessment of fire protection, police protection, emergency medical service, schools, parks, and libraries. Development of these estimates may necessitate outreach to the 703 N. PCH Project Environmental Documentation Proposal 28 VUI:U01yI CIIVWUPU IU. /UO fire department, police department, or use of local emergency response data. Impacts on recreational facilities, schools, and libraries will also be analyzed. The SEIR will determine whether new or more substantial impacts would occur with the modified Project and whether new/revised mitigation is required. Transportation. Dudek will incorporate the analysis and findings of the TIA prepared for the Project by the Applicant and peer reviewed by Dudek (Subtask 1.6). The Applicant's VMT analysis will be included as an appendix to the SEIR. Tribal Cultural Resources. It is anticipated that the City will conduct coordination to support AB 52 and SB 18 requirements related to Native American coordination, and Dudek will summarize the City's process in the tribal cultural resources section of the SEIR. Utilities and Service Systems. This section of the SEIR will evaluate the potential for the modified Project to affect water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste services. It is assumed that an infrastructure capacity analysis will be provided by the Applicant to confirm that the off -site pipelines and infrastructure can accommodate the demands of the modified Project. This section will address whether the wastewater generated by the Project would require the expansion of existing wastewater treatment facilities or the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities, and whether existing or planned stormwater drainage systems are adequate. Dudek will also provide projections of solid waste generation, which will be compared to existing and future landfill capacity to determine whether the changes in land use would substantially shorten the life of the landfill or necessitate expansion of the landfill. The Project includes development of an additional 50 residential units and 13,754 square feet of retail. Dudek anticipates that the modified Project does not meet the requirements to prepare a Water Supply Assessment in accordance with the requirements of SB 610. As such, Dudek will answer the CEQA threshold question of whether there would be "sufficient water supplies available to serve the Project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years." This task assumes that the City will provide a will -serve letter for water supply to determine whether additional water required for the modified Project would exceed the water supply assessed within the City's UWMP. Alternatives tote Proposed Project. The alternatives section will be prepared to meet the objectives of the CEQA Guidelines by addressing alternatives to the modified Project as proposed. Each alternative will be evaluated with respect to the environmental issue area reviewed for the modified Project. As required by the CEQA Guidelines, the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting or recommending it will be provided. The environmentally superior alternative will be identified from among the alternatives to the proposed Project. In addition, a narrative will be provided that discusses alternatives that were considered but were determined to be infeasible, and therefore not assessed in detail. For purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that three alternatives will be carried forward for analysis evaluated in the SEIR. CEQA Mandated EIRSections. Dudek will analyze and prepare all additional CEQA mandated EIR sections in accordance with the criteria, standards, and procedures of CEQA and the Guidelines as amended. This analysis will include a discussion of the irreversible environmental changes that could result from the proposed Project, unavoidable significant impacts and growth -inducing impacts. The growth -inducing impacts analysis will build upon the analysis of the housing and population and will assess the potential for the project to induce economic or population growth, with consideration of the distinction between new growth stimulation and expected growth accommodation. This section will also include a summary of the effects determined not to be significant, including those topics that were scoped out through the Initial Study. List of Preparers. This section will include the preparers of the SEIR. 703 N. PCH Project Environmental Documentation Proposal 29 L/UVU01Y1I CIIVCIUpC ILJ. OI,VMJUVO-LJUr% -YJr D-O:7/Y-UULGLll,r.7l,I /JO Appendices.

Task 4 Preparation of Final SEIR Upon completion of the 45-day public review period, Dudek will prepare a Final SEIR, including the following chapters: Response to Comments, Clarifications to the Draft SEIR, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP). A CD containing the Draft SEIR and technical appendices will be affixed to the back cover of each hard copy Final SEIR. The Response to Comments chapter will include comments received on the Draft SEIR, responses to those comments, and standard introductory material. All comments will be numbered (to indicate comment letter and comment number), and the responses to those comments will be similarly numbered to allow easy correlation. For purposes of this scope of work and cost estimate, Dudek assumes up to 100 hours of professional staff time to address the comment letters for a first draft submittal to the City. Since the actual scope and extent of public comments (in either written or oral format) cannot be known at this time, if additional staff hours are needed to prepare responses to comments, a budget augment will be requested. If necessary, Dudek will prepare clarifications to the Draft SEIR chapter that will identify any instances where revisions to the Draft SEIR are necessary. In this chapter, deleted text will be indicated by strikeout and inserted text by double underline. The MMRP will be in table format and will specify Project -specific mitigation measures that are applicable to the Project. Mitigation timing and responsible parties will also be identified. Upon receipt of comments, Dudek will revise the response to comments, clarifications to the Draft SEIR, and MMRP accordingly. Dudek will provide a proof check document for approval to reproduce.
